Microsoft might be testing the idea of placing ads in the Windows 11 Start Menu. YouTube Shorts– YouTube’s TikTok-like feature– had 1.5 billion users a month who watched 30 billion videos a month as of the beginning of the year according to YouTube product manager Todd Sherman in a Verge story. Is this the future for YouTube? And Wired posted a story “TikTok’s Greatest Asset Isn’t Its Algorithm—It’s Your Phone” by Leo Kim. Is he right? Is this smartphone medium really TikTok’s secret sauce?

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Lamarr Wilson, Roger Chang, Joe.
